SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 625,189, dated May 16, 1899. lApplication filed January 14, 1899. Serial No. 702,183. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. NEIBLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chester, in the county of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Garment- Supporter and Hook, of which the following is a specification. v p

- My invention relates to a combined garment-supporter and hook and eye adapted to be secured to the waistband of a pair of trousers, a skirt, or other garment and connected with a waist-belt in such a manner that the garment may be supported and'the ends of the waistband thereof be connected with each other. The invention consists in a hook made from a single piece of wire having one endbent into a loop by which it may be secured to a waistband, then extended upwardly and then bent outwardly, forming a hook adapted to engage with a waist-belt, then extended downwardly and then laterally, forming a hook at a right angle to said first-mentioned hook, adapted to be engaged with an eye secured to the waistband, and then bent into a loop by which it may be secured to a waistband, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a perspective View showing my invention applied to a pair of trousers, looking from the outside. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the invention applied to a pair of trousers and connected with a waist-belt. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the hook detached. Fig. 4 is a front view showing my invention applied to a waist-belt.

In the said drawings the reference numeral 1 designates the flap of a pair of trousers.

. The numeral 2 designates the hook, consisting of a single piece of metal havingone end bent into a loop by which it is secured to the waistband 3. The wire is then extended upwardly, forming a vertical arm 4, and then bent downwardly and then upwardly, forming a curved hook 5, and then downwardly,

the waistband, near one end thereof, and the eye to the opposite end thereof. The hook 5 is then engaged with the upper edge of the waist-belt, by which the garment will be suspended. The eye is then engaged with the hook 7, closing the flaps.

--While I-have shown the invention applied to a pair of trousers, it can be used with a skirt or other article of wearing-apparel.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is I 1. As an improved article, a combined garment-supporter .and hook, consisting of a single piece of wire, the ends of which are bent into loops, and then extended upwardly forming two arms, one of which is bent into a hook and the portion intermediate said arms bent into a curved outwardly-extending hook, substantially as described.

2. The -combination with a garmentsup porter comprising a single piece of wire hav ing the ends bent into. loops and then ex tended upwardly forming two-arms, one of which is bent to form a longitudinal hook and the portion intermediate said arms bent to form an outwardly-extending curved hook, of

the eye adapted to be connected with said first-mentioned hook, substantially as described. y

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
